In the 17th. Century the coastal city of Mergui (Today Myeik) as it was formerly know belonged to the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It fell into the hand of the British after they annexed Burma. The city was an important place on the map of the East India Company because it functioned as a restock and trading center on the trip from Calcutta to Penang. Goods have been unloaded here and moved on the back of elephants to the Gulf of Thailand and further to Ayutthaya China and Japan.

A bit further to the south near Kawthaung is the Isthmus of Kra which has the shortest distance between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.

Activities are diving, island hopping, big game fishing plus an unrestrained nightlife.

Other famous islands are Ko Samui & Ko Phangan and so on, it is evident there is something going in the south of Thailand. There is Ranong about 300km north of Phuket and the gateway to south Myanmar, Ranong is the biggest harbor on the Thai west coast.
Thailand's deep south has a big problem with Muslim insurgency who are killing people by the dozen almost every day. These lunatics go preferable after Buddhist Monks and Teachers and are burning down schools frequently. What a rotten mind this person must have who are killing monks and even temple boys all in the name of Islam.
